selling a used iphone to a bulk buyer

I'm selling some old iPhones I have to a person that seems to be buying in bulk. it's a CL listing saying that they'll buy any models and pay cash.
they are offering pretty good prices.
Should I be concerned? Are there any scams out there like this?
any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Could be legit. Some people are buying iPhones by the bulk...because they jailbreak them and resell them for more.

I would wipe your phone clean of all its data and then remove the SIM cards. That's what I did before I sold my two old iPhones.

If you are worried, check out gazelle.com.
Sold mine without a hitch, they advertise on several podcasts and are recommended by Leo Laporte.
